The History of ThanksgivingAnd the Pilgrims
By Skype Eikaiwa

The Pilgrims
The pilgrims were from Southampton, England.
In order to keep their cultural diversity and
avoid oppression from the current king of
England, the Pilgrims sought out to go to
America and start a new colony.

The Mayflower
The Mayflower was the famous ship that
transported 102 passengers over to America..

The Arrival
In 1920 the Mayflower finally reached America.
Although because of winter the ship went off
course from its original Destination and stopped
off in Massachusetts.

Building a Colony
When the Pilgrims arrived it was winter. The
Pilgrims met the Native Americans who taught
them how to harvest food and grow corn.

The First Thanksgiving
In 1621 the first Thanks Giving was held at the
Plymouth Plantains where the Pilgrims and the
Native Americans had feasts for 4 days to
celebrate the harvest.

After the 1600’s
Abraham Lincoln was the first person to suggest
that we declare Thanksgiving a National Holiday.
In 1941 Congress officially announced
Thanksgiving a National Holiday
